So I’ve been going through menopause for 2 years now (no bleeding) and then a couple of weeks ago I bled for 11 days, stopped for 2 days then bled again for a further 2 days. I work in cancer support so I’m aware that it can be a number of things. I had a telephone consultation with my GP yesterday morning and she said she was referring me on a ‘2 week pathway’ to gynaecology at local hospital and what my appointment will entail. It wasn’t even 4 hours when I got a call from hospital with appointment date for 28th September. Since that phone call (and it becoming real) I’ve been a bit of a mess. I can’t concentrate. I’m worried to death that it’s going to be bad news.
ive had a couple of skin malignancies in the past, a SCC and a BCC, years apart and with these I was really calm and gut instinct told me that once I had procedure to remove them I would be fine. I don’t feel so calm right now.
can anyone share their experiences please
